DAVE Neal is preparing to annoy the hell out of motorists everywhere as he take this tractor on an 8,000-mile trip around Britain.

The journey along the coastline of England, Scotland and Wales may cause anger among some but Dave knows he is doing a tremendous effort to help a number of charities.

The venture could take the 45-year-old from Burbage up to 12 weeks.

Dave said: “There are a lot of people coming out to see me all the way round and I will never be bored as it is one of those things where that just won’t happen.

“The Huntington’s Disease charity was chosen as it is within the family and it was for them that I did the last journey.

“I met a gentleman two years ago at the Royal Show who helped me a lot and I asked him if he would like to pick a charity and he chose Spinal Research.

“And MacMillan was chosen by my friend who is coming along on the trip to drive the support vehicle and has done a lot of the work for me.”

The journey begins on July 15 from the taxi rank in Hinckley town centre and will finish when Dave pulls into Stoke Golding on his 37-year-old tractor.

He will be pulling a trailer behind him in which he will sleep and Dave is making sure that every part of his convoy is pulling towards raising as much money as possible.

“We are going to get a postcard from every single city, town and village that we go through and then we will be looking to auction it all off at the end to get more money,” he said.

“We are hoping to get £10,000 for each of the charities and I am going to have an advertising trailer on the back so if anyone wants to sponsor me and have their name seen on television and in all the newspapers and magazines, that would be brilliant.”
